Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge sprained his left ankle in the team's win over the Clippers on Wednesday night.

Aldridge left the game with 5:40 left in the first quarter.

"This has gone past crazy," Portland coach Nate McMillan said. "It's bad luck, or whatever, to continue to see our guys drop the way that we are. To walk into the locker room and see LaMarcus Aldridge in a boot -- not just a swollen ankle -- but a boot. It's a credit to these guys."

Aldridge was averaging 16.3 points and eight rebounds entering Wednesday's game.
